Great American Racer is the brand new studio project from Pennsylvania singer-songwriter Jake Dryzal. Though primarily known for his work under the ambient pop alias Blue Navy, Dryzal's music as Great American Racer harkens back to '70s folk rock, Bruce Springsteen-esque heartland rock, and contemporary dream pop. The upcoming self-titled début album is a concept album about the heroin and opioid epidemic that has been raging on in Rust Belt America for several decades, particularly in Dryzal's hometown of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which has been ravaged by three historic floods and severe economic decline. Lyrically, the record draws parallels between Johnstown's diminishing industries and its population's struggles with substance abuse. The album was recorded from 2019 to 2022, and will be released on March 24, 2023 through Erie-based label Prodigious Productions.
